The original Furbies went on sale in 1998 and sold more than 40 million copies in their first three years of sales. In addition to the modern design, the new interactive pets will also feature an important feature that was missing from the first generation of the Furby – now the talking birds will have a mute button.
Furby can be turned off when you finish the game.
Many parents complained that the pet could not be turned off and could start an unexpected conversation in the middle of the night or at any inopportune time. To deal with this, simply removing the batteries from the toy helped. Later, the manufacturer claimed that the inability to turn the Furby off was a specially designed feature that made the toy look like a real pet, because “a real cat and dog cannot be turned off and on.”
Hasbro decided to listen to customers in the new version of Furby and added the ability to “calm” the toy if needed. The novelty will appear on store shelves on July 15, 2023 at a price of $ 70 (about 6,000 rubles).
